Tools and Hardware Reviews of HomeRight C800552 Heat Pro Deluxe 10-piece Hot Air Tool Kit
Customer Review: PCB Component Removal
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this heatgun for PCB component removal only.
It works fantastic for my specific use! I was able to recover parts from around 10 various sized PCB's. This Device will burn pcb's at high setting so be careful!
I have no *real* complaints with the product, never overheated, ran for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. It looks kind of cheesy, but worked wonders for my specific use.
Price to performance, This was a great purchase. The nozzles are kind of cheap as well as the tools included, but it worked 100% to my expectation based on the price.
If PCB parts recovery is your goal, this will do it for cheap.
Customer Review: nice tool, good price - not up for hard work
Summary: 2 Stars
It does exactly what a heat gun should, and it's variable temperature. It includes lots of optional scrapers and attachment in the box.
The only improvement I would ask for is a temperature scale in Fahrenheit for the American market.

EDIT
I tried to strip paint with it (which it's made for) and it simply won't. Mine will run for 8 to 10 minutes then shut off and refuse to restart for 20 to 30 minutes. Unacceptable for a tool with "Pro" in the name.
If you just need it for short jobs (shrink tubing?) it's cheap and will work just fine. If you want to strip paint, pony up for the Milwaukee, as it will run all day.
Customer Review: Satisfied and a good price ($35 for me)
Summary: 5 Stars
Great design. Wide-range variable heat dial, and it really does go from slightly lukewarm to as hot as you'd want from a heat gun. Lots of accessories although I've only used a couple of them. It stands up on its end nicely too so that when the job is complete you can let it cool off without the tip touching anything before you put it back into the case.
I paid $34.99 for mine however I notice the price has gone up since then. So I might like it better than some considering a purchase now. But, price aside, it is great tool.
Customer Review: Does the Job!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the HomeRight heat gun based on another customer's very detailed review.
Quality was surprisingly good for the price, and it came with attachments and a sturdy plastic carrying case.
The variable heat control settings, not found at this price range, really make the HomeRight heat gun versatile.
I've already reshaped a slightly dented rear plastic bumper on my SUV, saving myself a $1000 body repair job, and have done a few projects requiring heat shrink tubing.
Great deal for the price!
Customer Review: Excellent for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was concerned that the manufacturer was including all of the scrapers to make up for an inferior heat gun, but I am pleased with all of it. Strangely enough, while the box shows the temp in Fahrenheit, the gun itself has only Celsius degrees. Which might matter to someone who wanted a precise temperature, but I am a Fahrenheit gal scraping paint, and as long as I keep the gun far enough away from the wood, leaving it at its highest setting works for me. I can't imagine that a pricier gun could work any better.
